I take a softer view on Wikileaks, as they are printing info that was given to them rather than getting the info.

I think I could agree with that, but i'm not sure what the precedent is with the sensitivity of the information he released (should he be convicted). For instance, if we've tried people for treason for selling state secrets of the same caliber in the past, then yeah, I don't really see much of a difference other than that he gave them up for free.
